Summary
US President Donald Trump plans to hold a summit with Gulf leaders during his visit to Saudi Arabia on May 13-14, marking his first official foreign trip since taking office. The summit, hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will focus on economic ties, arms deals, and cooperation in emerging technologies, with no new diplomatic initiatives anticipated, and a scheduled meeting with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani afterward. Trump is not expected to visit Israel during this trip, which coincides with ongoing efforts to revive negotiations on a nuclear agreement with Iran.
